Last night I made a top 10 dinner. Ok so I’m not really keeping tabs on my best ever homemade meals, but if I were, I really think this is definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever made. I have to give most of the credit to my favorite food magazine, Eating Well for inspiring this [...]

Any time I see a recipe labeled “curry” it catches my eye. This one from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen did, especially. (Look how pretty her picture is! Must get Indian décor bowls and plates.) When I got home hungry and late at night last night, I didn’t want to follow her steps of baking the [...]

Ever since we ate some delicious vegetarian enchiladas at our friend’s Mexican food themed birthday party, I’ve been thinking about trying my own. At the grocery store I tossed a variety of veggies into my cart, some tortillas, and enchilada sauce to seal the deal. Ingredients: 2 Roma tomatoes, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced [...]

A few weeks ago I was watching Oprah’s “Favorite Things” episode, and of course out of all the millions of dollars worth of prizes she gave away, the one that sparked my interest the most was the Baker’s Edge Lasagna Pan. Go figure I’d be more interested in that over sparkly jewelry or a new [...]

I recently started a subscription to Whole Living magazine and love the articles, tips, health facts, and recipes. I love everything about it! I have been tearing out recipes left and right from each issue, and decided to cook this one for Spaghetti with Sardines, Cauliflower, and Kale first. What? Sardines!? Now I know I [...]

This weekend I had big goals: I was going to try my hand at making my first ever vegan pumpkin pie. Scratch that – making my first ever pumpkin pie! I was so excited – I had my kitchen counter covered with a bunch of different recipes I was going to edit and piece together [...]

  Working alongside a talented vegan chef a few days a week has it’s perks. I have an instant resource when I need an ingredient question answered, or in this case, need a recipe idea for the eggplant that had been sitting in my kitchen unused for too long. The Chef suggested I make an [...]

While googling away for recipes the other day, I came across a few from Whole Foods that were enticing. This vegan, gluten free dish with mushrooms and quinoa caught my eye. When I read further and saw the ingredient list also included a pear, almonds, and spinach, I was sold. What delicious ingredients! We enjoyed [...]

I had never heard of Mee Goreng before reading the Ask the Experts: Bizarre (But Delicious) Food Combos post on the Food Network’s Healthy Eats Blog (see my bizarre combo halfway down!). But colleague and fellow Healthy Eats writer Dana Angelo White listed this dish as a favorite Malaysian noodle dish, and I was intrigued [...]

More times than I’d like to admit I’ve ordered Spring Rolls at an Asian restaurant, thinking I was ordering those thin rice paper noodle wrappers, and not the greasy fried appetizers I call “egg rolls.” I don’t know when I’ll learn that Spring Rolls = fried and Summer Rolls = light and healthy. Sigh. But [...]
